🌿 What Are Coriander Seeds?
Coriander is an aromatic annual herb belonging to the Apiaceae family, which also includes cumin, fennel, parsley and carrots.
Its botanical name is Coriandrum sativum. The plant produces delicate green leaves and small white or pale pink flowers, followed by round fruits that are harvested and dried for use as coriander seeds.
Although commonly called seeds in cooking and trade, these round structures are botanically dried fruits containing the seeds.
Coriander has a long culinary history across South Asia, the Middle East, Europe and other regions. It is particularly important in Pakistani kitchens, where whole and ground coriander are used in everyday spice preparations.
